The Cove Rock Area

Did a little rock crawling today. Nothing too hardcore, but more than what I'm used to. In fact, today was probably the most rock crawling I have done to date. I wish I had some better pictures of it all, but not everyone can see the value in them as I. If I could take them and drive at the same time I would. Anyways, today was Doug (JK), Dave (TJ), and me.This picture shows how steep some of the ledges were.
You can see one side of the "cove" behind the jk.Dave and finess aren't really used in the same sentence.Doug's 3" lift flexes really well.
I have been really impressed with the 4 door Jk. Not to mention Doug's driving skill. He has never been off road before he got this jeep. Nothing like 4:1 gears and dual lockers to make you look like a pro I guess.I had to straddle the corner to left of the picture to make this obstacle. I probably could have driven up the right side much easier, but that wouldn't have really been a challenge.
Passenger rear tire dropped into the corner area and sent me skyward. I almost went over onto the passenger rear quarter panel. After letting off the gas, it settled to this position (still spooky). After backing up a little and changing the way my rear hit the rock I ended up in the same predicament, but threatening to roll to the driver side. Doug couldn't take the picture because he was "running for his life". He claims I had way more air the second time. I don't remember the second time much because I grabbed reverse and came bouncing down. Total carnage for the day was a few scraped and mildly dented skid plates on the JK and a thrashed front diff cover on my jeep. Dave high centered on his dana 30 diff, and soon after had to head home for an appointment. He missed out on the cove rock area.
